Answer 1

Acceleration works in inverse proportion to mass.

This means that for a constant force, if the mass increases, the acceleration decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma). Therefore, acceleration (a) can be expressed as a = F/m, indicating that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the force is constant.
